Produktinformationen zu „Eye of the Storm “
Hilary Jones's sequel to his bestselling 2021 novel Frontline chronicles some of the defining events of the 20th century as seen through the eyes of a preeminent medical family.
Hilary Jones's sequel to Frontline chronicles some of the defining events of the 20th century as seen through the eyes of a preeminent medical family. The 1918 armistice has ended the war in Europe. But as the 1920s roars to life, it is an age of social change, excess, shellshock and ghosts.
Klappentext zu „Eye of the Storm “
In Jones's sequel to Frontline, set in the interwar period, his cast of characters experience the various effects of postwar pressures in the UK: economic, social and political.Some take serious paths, committing to causes of the era (workers' rights, votes for women, an independent Ireland) while others seek frivolity and excess via the burgeoning 'bright young things' scene. All the while they care for family members: young, shellshocked, or ailing.
The book continues with an important concern of the first: medical advances throughout the period (of which there were many, including vaccines), especially via central characters Will and Grace, who are now young parents and both working in the medical field.
